Richelle Moncada

Vallejo,CA

Passionate About:

One of my greatest passions is to help people, which has led me to pursue a career in the field of nursing. I want to be able to expand my skills and become a capable and knowledgeable nurse. This medical mission is for a great cause, and it will be such a rewarding experience! I am looking forward to volunteering my time to the people in Panama, and providing them with the health care that they need. It is amazing to think that for every student who volunteers on a Global Medical Brigade, sixty patients can see a doctor who otherwise would not be able to.

Samuel Merritt August 2012 Medical Brigade Panama
  1. Affiliated Organization: Global Brigades USA
  2. Program: Medical Brigades
  3. Chapter: Medical Brigades at Samuel Merritt University
End Date: Aug 23, 2012 12:00 AM
Volunteer Activity Message

Medical Brigade volunteers will set up temporary clinics in pre-identified communities in Eastern Panama to provide health care where access is limited. Each community receives a brigade every 3-4 months. Students on the brigade are given the opportunity to shadow licensed health care professionals while learning about local Panamanian culture. A typical Medical/Dental Brigade clinic consists of six stations: Intake, Triage, Consultation, Dental, Charla (health education), and Pharmacy. Electronic patient records are collected during the brigade to ensure patient follow-up as well as to monitor overall community health trends. Between brigades, the in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and conduct community health worker training aimed at empowering local leaders to perpetuate a consistent level of health care. For every student who volunteers on a Global Medical Brigade, sixty patients can see a doctor who otherwise would not be able to.
